@Sonictheplumber: Thank you for being level-headed and not an asshole, its truly appreciated ;) However, I'm not exactly "new" to rock n' roll, and in my eyes stuff like The Killers has far more depth and substance than death metal, but hey, there's room for everyone's opinion...just as long as your not being an ass (glare directed towards FatChickIrl)

Im not TRYING to be a dick but this guy is begging for it, I mean he looks like hes 17 and I doubt someone of this day and age is going to honestly put Rubber Soul his *personal* favorite album of all time and the fact that he has 60 rated albums shows he really doesnt have much musical knowledge, btw dont come attacking me bc Im just to lazy to put my 400+ album ratings up

Alrighty, just to clear a couple things up, just because I'm not a death metal fan doesn't mean I'm "just getting into" music; musics been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. HOWEVER....that doesn't mean I'm gonna diss on all of y'alls' music taste, death metal just isn't my cup of tea. We've all had unique lives, therefore we all relate to different music. I won't hate on your music taste if you don't hate on mine, but if you do...its war bitch ;)

So I basically dislike 9 lol. I bought that album when I was 13 and dating this one girl that made me try to be a trendy kinda hipster kid. Needless to say, I broke up with her cuz she annoyed me, and now I hate that album because it's overrated and I have bad memories in relation to it.

...omg sorry man with the rock 'n roll part it made it look like you said rubber soul "isn't" instead of is which I was going to call you out for. Very sorry man so...I'll go listen to closer to the heart for you.

I was so pissed I missed them tour with the trailer park boys apparently that was just awesome. I'm not even that big a fan of the band, no offense, like I hold a huge respect for them it is just not really my type of music. But they are just so awesome to go see live.

@sonictheplumber: I've heard Aetheist, Dhimu Bhorghur (sp, i know), Enslaved, The Faceless, Julie Christmas and some other such stuff....its just not my cup of tea, and I dont think it ever will be; I like inspirational, melodically-diverse major-key tonality too much.
